The Shiny New AM831 Group Buy (A) Thread!

[Snacks]

 Most likely getting the ztto one and will immediately replace with better quality bearings

Do you think the Sram Dub will be as good as the shimano? I'm probably buying the Sram GX Eagle Carbon crankset.

I have a pf92 sram dub on my Commencal right now, so far so good , no creaks

Just ordered an slx groupset with an included shimano xt pressfit sm-bb800-pa for the bottom bracket. Curious what you guys are going for for dropper posts, if you are installing one. I am thinking about the trans-x kitsuma 31.6x170mm to save a buck.

I was thinking about the oneup.  Not sure about the length though.  Might wait until the frame arrives before I order one.

I hope to move my PNW dropper over.

Was going to go Brand X or X-Fusion.

Got a 150 Brand X from Chain Reaction. It was relatively cheap and the people I know that have them really like them.

I messaged Xiamen Top-Fire Sports on Alibaba to ask if the frames were completed and in their possession yet, since we have not been getting very detailed updates, and received this response:
"Hi, Mike The frames were finished. But we found some error on the rear triangle, we are modifying."

If they are late, they will invent any reason you are able to believe.
Just relax, while waiting they build your frame(s).
Bugging them regularly won't help your cause.

that's why i asked a company other than the one i ordered from lol. but you're probably right.

You guys think they’ll add water bottle mount ? I see none in all frame render/photos that have been posted yet.

I have a ganite aux waterbottle cage with strap in case but I would prefer using bolt on

There's a water bottle mount above the shock on the downtube.

Right, Just looked in the other thread for photos and there's water bottle mount.

Also saw that there's only 2 holes for chainguide, not 3 like ISG-05. another thing to note

That's pretty common these days. Still takes most bash/guide combos, but I probably wouldn't trust it to handle an ISG-05 mounted front derailleur!

So I didn’t want to bother Eddy more but I’ve asked him if we’ll get a tracking # once frame are shipped and he confirmed that yes.

I think they are trying to fix an issue with the rear triangle as the video that Eddy attached to his last emails doesn’t show a rear triangle in it.

Oh well, your frame is somewhere in there, almost complete
